Williamstown Middle/High

Parents of Seniors, please mark your calendars for October 4. The counseling department is hosting a representative from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission to host a financial aid workshop followed by assistance with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In order to receive free federal and state grants, many scholarships including the Promise and WV Invests, or a student loan, you MUST complete the FAFSA. Please take advantage of the assistance offered by the financial aid expert who is willing to take you step by step through the process because it can be a confusing and complicated process. Workshop will take place in room 222 from 6:00 to 8:00. Please RSVP to Ms. Justice so that we can be sure we have enough computers available. You will receive instructions for obtaining an FSA ID prior to the event. It is important to have the FSA ID BEFORE the workshop as it usually takes 2-3 days to process and you can not complete the FAFSA with it.
